An example of using LWP::Simple to pull HTML and images from a URL.



#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use LWP::Simple;
$url = '

http://www.addcritic.com/';

$started = time;

# this will get the HTML text
$content = get($url);
print "$content\n";

# parse the IMG SRC tags from the HTML
while ($content =~ /<IMG.*?SRC=&quot;(.*?)&quot;/gis)
{
# retrieve each IMG SRC
print &quot;Getting $1\n&quot;;
get($1);
}

'hope this helps....
